- QuestionCan you date for the first time over a long period without having sex till marriage?laurynCommunity AnswerYes! Of course you can wait till marriage. Depending on your religion and your relationship stability, that might be the best option. Make sure to talk it over with your partner and let him/her know your full intentions. Sex is not a bad thing and you can always change your mind if he/she ends up being 'the one' in the end.

Warnings
- Watch out for signs of an unhealthy relationship, such as your partner trying to control you, blaming you for things, or bullying you.[26]Thanks
